3. You don’t need to replace hardware that is capable of running 2007, it will support Office 2010. Like Windows 7 has demonstrated, we realize that taking advantage of the hardware you already own is just as important as supporting all the new technology coming out.

So that pretty much debunk rumors that Office 2010 will only be available for 64-bit systems. I’ve just upgraded to Office 2007 not so long ago and it would be interesting to see what new features will be introduced in Office 2010.

“Office 2010 doesn’t have “recommended” requirements. The reason for this is that customers have told us that understanding hardware requirements can be confusing, and the difference in meaning between “minimum” and “recommended” requirements isn’t all that clear … By including [only] minimums, we’ve tried to make the hardware requirements as clear as possible.”

Yeah, I know I usually get confused between the words “minimum” and “requirement.” Give me a word with more than two syllables and I’m totally lost.

Todd, I absolutely missed that. Are they really using this absurd marketing? Heck, I hate these so called “minimum” VS “recommended” requirements too Having said that, I’m confident that my new pc can run whatever software that comes out in the next 2-4 years. Argh, who knows for sure :p
